About Me

so, for anybody who actually follows this page, I actually moved back to LA from Hartford right before January 1st due to a back injury that's still lingering. so I'm still a woman on the move, but for now I'm going through a major course correction. I still hope to move to Manhattan in a few years, but I've got to get some other stuff done first. let you know what that stuff is when I do.p.s. - I am practically NEVER on here! if you want to talk to me, find me on facebook. todah!
